I am intrigued. After being put on notice some years ago that the Windows client would no longer be developed, consistent with there being no further upgrades (until now) I find today that I have downloaded a new version.
Are we going to get an announcement of the changes?

There's an announcement in the News. The upgrade is for GIBs:

As stated above, the only change is to GIB. The last number in the BBO version string is the GIB version. So now the download version has the same GIB bidding DB as the web version.

Is there a link, where I can directly download the Windows client 5.2.21 instead of downloading 5.2.6 and then upgrading to 5.2.21?
